The New Mexico Supreme Court ruled that the body camera footage of a woman confessing to hiding her newborn baby in a hospital trash can in an attempt to conceal her pregnancy cannot be used by prosecutors in her murder case because of doctor-patient confidentiality.

The state's high court also upheld the Fifth Judicial District Court’s ruling that surveillance video showing Trevizo inside the hospital and any body camera footage captured by police were also n...

As President Donald Trump intensifies his push to eliminate the Senate filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, lawmakers are exposing familiar fault lines over when the chamber's 60-vote rule should, and shouldn't, apply. Democratic senators avoided endorsing an outright elimination of the filibuster. Some defended exceptions for certain legislation, with several arguing it should stay in place while Republicans push to pass the SAVE Act through the Senate. "I would want to know what specific measure it covered," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital. "I'm in favor of eliminating the filibuster for specific measures, not across the board."

Sen. Cory Booker , D-N.J., argued the discovery that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were mistakenly eligible to vote in New Jersey does not justify passing President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act, insisting the error is unrelated to a lack of federal voter ID requirements. "Nothing in the SAVE Act would have prevented a clerical error like we've seen in Texas and Oregon and New Jersey," Booker said. "We’ve got to protect our voting systems." New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced last week that the state removed roughly 6,600 noncitizens from its voter roll who were eligible to vote in the 2024 presidential election. Sherrill blamed the issue on a "serious software error" in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System.
